| disolitude said: Thats fair. I agree... My question is why they don't put Android on laptops already. That new Ativ Q looks to be the best portable device money can buy since it runs Windows and Android. Its showcking they haven't yet released Android and Chromebuck version. That would be worth 300+ dollars for sure. |
Android GoogleTV and ChromeOS are slowly merging. If you haven't noticed Google is always buying new companies and then overtime merging them into one ecosystem.
Chrome just became a browser option on Android last year.
Year before that Android had two differen OS for phone and tablets.
It takes time and they are doing it. However, as Microsoft is finding out, you can't have the same interface for laptops/desktops as phones/tablets. They serve different purposes and have different input types, mostly.
However, it will become true taht eventually Android/ChromeOS coexist and the layout simply changes for the screen/device type just as it now does on Android 4.x+ devices and still share all the same apps.
I still argue that for the greater majority of the mass market/school goers/etc a ChromeBook is more than what they need/use. They just have to know how it actually works first and Google hasn't done a good job at that. Have to train the Windows crowd to use the cloud.
